Patrick explores pressing listener questions about Catholic practices, why posture at Mass matters, and what true unity looks like when traditions shift unexpectedly. Scriptural references and personal stories fuel a wide-ranging exchange on receiving Communion with the right preparation, the impact of Church history on faith, and facing challenges from Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons at the door. Those conversations stretch from investigating the label “Roman Catholic” to untangling misunderstandings about the sacraments, all while encouraging listeners to keep pursuing clarity and reverence in their faith journey. Kip (email) - As a cradle Catholic who has always knelt in reverence after the Lamb of God, I was so disturbed by the complete lack of kneeling and overall irreverence during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at a new parish I tried yesterday that it felt like a Protestant service and has left me convinced such practices are eroding belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist and leading the flock astray. (00:46) Mark - I thought that being born again was enough. Why do I need 7 sacraments? (05:21) Dan - You gave me research to do on the early Church, and I now agree with you. Can you give me details on Linus, Cletus and Clement? (20:46) Kathy - How do I deal with Jehovah's Witnesses? Also thank you for the advice you gave me 2 months ago. (37:59) Rafael - Why are we referred to as Roman Catholics?

Episode Summary Evan shares his story as a third-generation Jehovah's Witness whose family joined the organization during a period of marital vulnerability. After his father died of HIV-related complications when Evan was just three years old, the family faced intense judgment and stigma within the congregation, leading them to relocate to a rural "compound" in North Carolina for a fresh start. Growing up, Evan was fueled by the "resurrection hope"—the promise that if he remained obedient and "did more" for the organization, he would eventually be reunited with his father. The episode explores the heavy psychological toll of this upbringing, including the "bloodguilt" placed on children to convert their peers and the "reverse parenting" Evan performed while his mother struggled with severe mental health issues. Evan details his transition from a socially unprepared "clip-on tie" child to a rebellious teenager leading a double life, which eventually culminated in a judicial committee and his expulsion at age 20. Now 40, Evan reflects on his journey of rebuilding his own identity, the "superpower" of personal autonomy, and how he created a "chosen family" outside the walls of the Kingdom Hall. Key Takeaways Resurrection Hope as Leverage: The organization uses the grief of losing a parent to "double down" on a child's commitment, making their future reunion dependent on constant religious performance. The "Cage" of Protection: Evan deconstructs the common JW illustration that the organization is a protective "cage" in a shark-infested ocean, arguing that a cage is still a restricting cage regardless of the perceived safety it provides. Autonomy as a Superpower: Leaving the organization provides a "clean slate" where an individual can finally choose their own morals, circle of friends, and identity without institutional permission. Institutional Gaslighting: The organization's culture is designed to make members doubt themselves and their own perceptions, effectively teaching obedience over identity. Financial and Emotional Retaliation: Even after leaving, members may face continued attempts at control, such as Evan's mother attempting to commit tax fraud involving him or demanding rent from her "checking out" teenage son. Direct Quotes "Autonomy is the coolest thing in the world. And once you have it, it never stops." "You learn obedience, not identity." "Conditional love is not love. Everything in the organization is conditional."

Lindsay Clancy postpartum psychosis defense — the women who could explain it best have been shut out of the courtroom by a judge's order.Kevin Reddington asked to call women who have survived postpartum psychosis so a jury could hear what it does to a person from someone who has actually been inside it. Judge William Sullivan said no. That leaves the defense explaining the most important concept in the case entirely through paid clinicians, in a trial where the Commonwealth is seeking a first-degree murder conviction.The rest of the defense file is documentation. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve and was discharged. Nineteen days later, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were dead. Her attorney has said she was prescribed roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months, and both she and her husband are suing the providers who wrote them.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for an honest look at whether any of this is enough. Can a jury be convinced that planning and psychosis coexist? How much did that ruling actually cost her? And what does a jury do with a father who buried three children and then asked strangers to forgive the person who killed them?There is also the question every person following this case wants answered — whether the woman at the center of it will ever open her mouth in that courtroom.The defense's position is simple. Every institution that could have stopped this had the information and did nothing with it.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Lindsay Clancy insanity defense has a problem, and it is not the evidence — it is who a Massachusetts judge will and will not let into the courtroom.Kevin Reddington's plan was to have women who have survived postpartum psychosis describe it to the jury themselves. Real people, real experiences, no expert reports. Judge William Sullivan shut that down. Only clinicians retained for the trial may explain the condition, which puts the defense in the position of asking twelve people to believe in something they will only ever hear about secondhand and on somebody's dime.The underlying case Reddington is building is documented in medical records and two civil lawsuits. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve. Nineteen days after her discharge, all three of her children were gone. Her attorney has put the prescription count at roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to work the defense side. Whether this case can function as the spotlight on a broken mental health system that it probably should be. How a jury processes the idea that planning and psychosis are not opposites. What to do with Patrick Clancy, who lost all three of his children and then publicly forgave the person responsible.And the hardest strategic call in the case — whether to put a paralyzed, fragile defendant in front of a prosecutor who will not go easy on her, because she is the only person alive who can tell that jury what she heard.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. The defense says none of it had to happen.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We are continuing our verse by verse study through Revelation with pastor John Randall. Last time we had just begun to get to know the two witnesses, described for us in chapter eleven, when we ran out of time. So today, pastor John will bring us the rest of his message. As is the case with much of this book, debate has raged over the real identity of the two preachers, and Pastor John will point out the varying opinions that exist. We'll also find out today that we too as Christians our witnesses of Jesus, called to represent heaven. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111
In the summer of 2001, something strange began appearing on the rooftops of Delhi.Witnesses described a hairy humanoid with glowing red eyes, metallic claws, impossible jumping abilities and, in some accounts, a helmet, illuminated buttons and mechanical roller skates. The reports spread across the city, police patrols filled the streets, frightened residents formed armed neighborhood watches, and people were seriously injured trying to escape a creature that was never identified or captured.The official explanation is usually mass panic. That may explain the hundreds of rumors and mistaken sightings that followed, but it does not necessarily explain what started them. In this episode of Idiot Mystic, we reconstruct the Delhi Monkey-Man outbreak, examine the stranger witness accounts, compare it with other temporary “monster waves,” and ask whether collective fear merely invents creatures or sometimes gives unexplained phenomena a way to enter the world.There is also a cyborg monkey on roller skates, because reality occasionally becomes irritated by our attempts to discuss it seriously.
We've been studying the Book of Revelation here lately as part of our thru the Bible study. During the Tribulation period the Lord will send out two witnesses to testify of His grace, love and forgiveness. Though they'll have the power and authority of God they'll be opposed at every turn. Similarly we're called to be God's witnesses in a hostile environment. Thankfully we have the power of the Spirit to help.

Could some unidentified aerial phenomena also have a connection to Earth's oceans and lakes? In this compelling episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes UFO researcher Debbie Ziegelmeyer, Director of Underwater Research and Recovery for Mutual UFO Network, to discuss the intriguing field of underwater UFO investigations. Debbie shares her experiences investigating reports of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), unexplained sightings over bodies of water, and cases in which witnesses describe unusual activity entering or emerging from lakes, rivers, and oceans. She explains how investigators document witness testimony, evaluate available evidence, and distinguish between identifiable natural phenomena and reports that remain unexplained. Throughout the interview, Rob and Debbie explore the challenges of conducting investigations in underwater environments, the importance of careful documentation, and the need for objective analysis when examining extraordinary claims. They also discuss the role of MUFON in collecting and researching UFO reports from around the world while encouraging thoughtful inquiry into one of the most enduring mysteries of modern times. Whether you're fascinated by UFOs, USOs, marine mysteries, or scientific investigation into unexplained phenomena, this episode offers an engaging look at a unique area of paranormal and ufological research.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Among the unique artifacts held in the collections of the Auschwitz Memorial are fairy tales created while the camp was in operation. Crafted out of a heartfelt need, and in the hope of leaving behind a trace of their authors, these stories were smuggled out the camp. Their creators were prisoners employed in the camp's Construction Office. With the help of people on the outside, they passed these fairy tales on to their loved ones. The story behind the fairy tales from Auschwitz is told by Jadwiga Kulasza, a retired employee of the Memorial Archives, as well as family members of the authors: Felicjan Świerczyna, son of Bernard Świerczyna, and Andrzej Czulda, son of Henryk Czulda.=====Voiceovers: Greg Littlefield, Michael Takiff, Kate Weinrieb

Pantex Nuclear Weapons Plant UFO Incident (2015) | Security Officers Chase Mysterious Object Over America's Nuclear ArsenalWhat really happened over one of America's most secure nuclear weapons facilities?In this episode of UFO WARNING, we examine the newly released Department of Energy report detailing the 2015 Pantex Unidentified Object Incident. The Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas—the nation's primary nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility—became the scene of a remarkable security event when an unidentified object was detected by ground surveillance radar and tracked by multiple armed security officers.According to the official report, the object was observed moving slowly over open land near the facility before changing direction and accelerating away. Witnesses described a silent, diamond-shaped object with no visible wings, propellers, rotors, or obvious means of propulsion. Security teams pursued the object, while surveillance cameras captured images that were later enhanced by Sandia National Laboratories. The investigation ultimately involved the FBI, but the object remained officially unidentified.Join us as we break down the timeline of the incident, analyze the eyewitness accounts, review the surveillance images, and explore why unidentified aerial phenomena continue to be reported near some of the world's most sensitive nuclear installations. Is this an advanced drone, a classified military platform, or something that still defies explanation?
Chuck Todd opens with the news that Trump is planning a primetime address to push election denialism, and uses it as a lens to examine how thoroughly fealty to the 2020 fraud lie has become the price of admission in Trump's Washington. He argues Todd Blanche should have no place in the Department of Justice, that he failed his test under questioning from John Cornyn, and that the weaponization fund could become the red line that finally moves Collins, Tillis, and Cornyn — because an inability to confirm Blanche would be a clear sign of Trump's weakening grip on the GOP. He points to the surreal spectacle of Jay Clayton refusing to answer Jon Ossoff's simple question of who won the 2020 election, looking like a ridiculous sycophant in the process, and to Trump endorsing MyPillow's Mike Lindell — the single biggest election conspiracy theorist in the country, a man who's lost every court case and been forced to pay $5 million over his false claims. He reminds listeners that it was Trump's own appointees who ran election security in 2020, that every major election denier from Giuliani on down has been forced to retract in court, and that Georgia's full hand recount matched the machines exactly — the only real constant in Trumpworld is that any outcome Trump dislikes gets branded fraud. He then turns to the mounting deaths during ICE encounters, arguing the violence isn't an anomaly but an entirely predictable consequence of an agency whose culture has been deliberately reshaped: DHS recruited candidates with violent psychological profiles using white nationalist slogans, imposed quotas that put officers under enormous stress, and pushed them into vehicle stops that former officials admit ICE has no experience conducting. In two fatal shootings the men killed weren't even the targets, witnesses have disputed the DHS account, there's no body cam footage, and Chuck argues DHS has zero credibility, even as Trump clearly wants the theater and the violent confrontations. On Iran, Chuck is blunt that having less leverage than before the war started is simply what losing a war looks like: the administration badly underestimated Iran's willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iran deliberately decentralized its regime to survive decapitation strikes, and after three failed military strategies in five months, Trump has spent the entire war negotiating against himself — meaning the best America can now hope for is a managed stalemate, because Iran can't beat the U.S. military, it just has to wait out an increasingly impatient Trump. He closes on a lighter note with the House passing a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, offering the contrarian reminder that the public always wants permanent DST until they actually get it — kids forced to go to school in pitch darkness, and the simple reality that what's good for you in the evening is bad for someone else in the morning.

Then, John Opdycke — founder and president of Open Primaries, one of the leading organizations pushing to end closed partisan primaries — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make the case that the exclusion of independent voters is one of the great overlooked scandals of American democracy. Opdycke walks through the byzantine patchwork of voter and party registration rules that vary wildly by state, explains why so many independents sit out partisan primaries entirely, and argues that after 30 years of closed primaries the cumulative effect has been a system where the parties function as both the umpires and the players — a structure that simply doesn't work. He makes the bipartisan argument that tax dollars shouldn't fund the private nominating contests of what are essentially private organizations, and is pointedly critical of Democrats for actively fighting open primary initiatives.He notes that policies with 80% public support routinely fail to pass because voters don't actually have a meaningful say. The conversation turns tactical and forward-looking, with Opdycke offering a sober assessment of the broader reform landscape and its persistent failures. He argues the ranked-choice voting movement has made serious tactical errors, that the party in power always fights ranked choice voting, and that the modern reform and independent movement suffers from a fundamental lack of a compelling public face — as well as from philanthropic funders who attach outcome expectations that distort the work. Opdycke is candid that third parties fare poorly in nearly every electoral system, that Ross Perot's Reform Party is now essentially a shell, and that the American people still don't trust the reform movement — but he sees real opportunity in specific fights, particularly mobilizing Florida's independents to change the law and pursuing top-two systems that would genuinely open the door to competition. He notes the striking statistic that 10,000 people per week are changing their voter registration, laments the general lack of curiosity (and polling) about who swing voters actually are, and argues there's meaningful left-right overlap among libertarians that reformers could tap. They explore whether the redistricting wars could create a backlash against the two-party system, why there are only about 25 competitive House districts left, and why several states are now actually moving back toward closed primaries. They close with a clear-eyed take on 2028: the reform movement needs a credible presidential candidate, and with 2028 shaping up to be a wild and unpredictable year, the opening for that kind of disruption may be wider than it's been in decades.

The official story on Charlie Kirk's murder is collapsing under its own lies. Since September 10, 2025, the government, Turning Point USA handlers, court system, law enforcement, and their media propagandists have run a massive cover-up. Courtroom witnesses Brandi Siciliani and Billy Webb just exposed Jack Posobiec, Benny Johnson, and the Epstein binder gate crew for lying about 4K HD footage of Tyler Robinson taking the shot. This kangaroo court is collapsing, the public is the real jury, and controlled opposition is getting caught pushing the fake narrative. Celebrate freedom while we still have it.

Today we dive back into John 1:1, but since the Jehovah's Witnesses who come to your door often have pre-memorized speeches about the verse, we need to be prepared. There are a whole range of ingenious interpretations of the first verse of John's Gospel that have been suggested down through the centuries by those who rejected, for one reason or another, the over-all message of the Gospel of John. We will be looking at a range of these objections today so that we will be ready to "give an answer" when the opportunity arises.

Former NFL scout Blaise Taylor was living what looked like a dream career until prosecutors accused him of turning a glass of pink lemonade into a murder weapon. They alleged he secretly mixed a lethal dose of cocaine into a drink and served it to his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, who was five months pregnant with their daughter, Ivy. As the poison took effect, Jade managed to call her best friend and left the line open, capturing a horrifying confrontation that would later become one of the most powerful pieces of evidence presented to a jury. Investigators uncovered a troubling history showing Taylor had repeatedly expressed that he did not want to become a father. Witnesses testified he had pressured Jade to have an abortion and even asked a former girlfriend years earlier to secretly slip abortion pills into another pregnant woman's drink. Combined with forensic evidence, toxicology results revealing extraordinarily high cocaine levels, and testimony from medical experts, prosecutors argued the poisoning was carefully planned rather than an accident or overdose. After listening to just over a week of testimony, the jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding Blaise Taylor guilty of the murders of Jade Benning and their unborn daughter, Ivy. The verdict brought an end to a years-long investigation built on forensic science, witness testimony, and Jade's final recorded words. Taylor was sentenced to life in prison and, under Tennessee law, will not be eligible for parole for more than five decades while his attorneys pursue an appeal. #TrueCrimeRecaps #BlaiseTaylor #JadeBenning #BabyIvy #TennesseeTitans Learn more about your ad choices.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 14, the Catholic Church in the USA celebrates the Memorial of St. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680), the "Lily of the Mohawks," the first native American to be declared "Blessed" and "Saint."Kateri was born in 1656 near the town of Auriesville, New York. She refused to marry a Mohawk man and, at nineteen, finally got the courage to take the step of converting. One year later, she was baptized by a Jesuit missionary on Easter Sunday in 1676, given the name Kateri (Catherine).She was devoted to the Eucharist and to Jesus Crucified, leading a life of prayer, penitential practices, and care for the sick.Kateri incurred the hostility of her tribe because of her faith while praying for the conversion of her nation.Witnesses said that her emaciated face changed color and became like that of a healthy child. The lines of suffering, even the pockmarks, disappeared, and the touch of a smile came upon her lips. She was beatified in 1980.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

We dig deeper into a few specific aspects of Stephen's execution. Acts 7:57 When Stephen completed his speech the leaders and people covered their ears and rushed at him dragging him out of the city to stone him. Why stone him? Because they thought he was guilty of blasphemy (but he was not) and the Torah in Numbers 15:35 we read that the guilty were to be stoned outside the city. Keep in mind, though, that Stephen was not guilty of blasphemy. Acts 7:58 We read that the witnesses involved in the stoning, laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. What do we know about the witnesses? We read in Acts 6:13 that they were FALSE witnesses. We know that they also stripped off their coats. But according to Jewish tradition, the guilty were stripped so that the punishment would be more brutal. However, here we read the witnesses took off clothing. (Unbeknownst to them admitting guilt) Saul, who we know today as the Apostle Paul, had not yet experienced his conversion, he had not yet met Jesus on the road to Damascus. At this point he is young, probably late teens to early 20's. Acts 7:60 Tells us that Stephen fell on his knees and cried out to the Lord not to hold this sin against them. Then he died. Again Jewish tradition sheds light on this. The tradition was that the guilty were to confess their own sins. But instead, here we see Stephen (the innocent one) confessing the sins of the guilty. He was confessing the sins of the ones who were his persecutors. The enemy attacks the innocent and applauds the guilty but Stephen walked faithfully with Jesus and even in death showed the mercy of Christ in his final words. Pastor wonders how impactful that prayer of Stephen was as he was being stoned…. Was that prayer part of the reason that the young man named Saul would ultimately become the Apostle Paul?

Explore the enigmatic realm of unidentified flying objects through three rare, obscure photographs that have intrigued UFO researchers, skeptics, and conspiracy enthusiasts. Captured in a time before digital editing, these images—from snowy Poland, wartime China, and sunny Italy—defy simple explanations and hint at extraterrestrial observers challenging our reality.MF Thomas starts by honoring the infamous 1975 Billy Meier photo from Switzerland: a silver disc "beamship" that inspired The X-Files' "I Want to Believe" poster. Debunked as a hoax with models, strings, and confirmed by his ex-wife Kalliope and experts like Joe Nickell, it contrasts with the episode's more resilient cases.In Part 1, travel to 1959 Muszyna, Poland, where Dr. Stanislaw Kowalczewski photographed a flattened oval UFO during a winter holiday. Emerging from a yellow-orange cloud as a luminous orb, it appeared as a dark saucer on film. Experts in Warsaw papers like Stolica affirmed it 90% likely a self-luminous flying saucer. Linked to Polish UFO lore like Gdynia and Emilcin, it faded under Soviet secrecy—alien craft or artifact?Part 2 delves into WWII Pacific Foo Fighters, focusing on the 1942 Hopeh UFO photo from Tianjin, China, under Japanese occupation. This street-level shot shows a domed silver disc overhead, with pointing pedestrians. Ufologist Shi Bo attributes it to an American witness; analyses dismiss planes or shells. Tied to sightings like Sergeant Brickner's 150+ wobbling objects over Tulagi, it anchors Asian UFO history.In Part 3, relive Italian pilot Giancarlo Cecconi's 1979 Treviso encounter. Radar spotted an erratic object with a blue trail; Cecconi snapped 80+ photos of a 25-foot matte-black cigar-shaped craft with a dome, maneuvering at 300 mph. Backed by witnesses and researcher Antonio Chiumiento, who uncovered potential Ministry cover-ups. Parallels include Chiles-Whitted (1948), RB-47 (1957), and Gemini 4 (1965) cylinders.For all references and music, visit https://www.mydarkpath.com/78-historical-ufo-photosBuy MF Thomas' novels on Amazon.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Virgin [In the Dioceses of the United States] Lectionary: 390 The Saint of the day is Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Saint Kateri Tekakwitha's Story The blood of martyrs is the seed of saints. Nine years after the Jesuits Isaac Jogues and Jean de Lelande were tomahawked by Iroquois warriors, a baby girl was born near the place of their martyrdom, Auriesville, New York. Kateri Tekakwitha's mother was a Christian Algonquin, taken captive by the Iroquois and given as wife to the chief of the Mohawk clan, the boldest and fiercest of the Five Nations. When she was four, Tekakwitha lost her parents and little brother in a smallpox epidemic that left her disfigured and half blind. She was adopted by an uncle, who succeeded her father as chief. He hated the coming of the Blackrobes—Jesuit missionaries—but could do nothing to them because a peace treaty with the French required their presence in villages with Christian captives. She was moved by the words of three Blackrobes who lodged with her uncle, but fear of him kept her from seeking instruction. Tekakwitha refused to marry a Mohawk brave, and at 19 finally got the courage to take the step of converting. She was baptized with the name Kateri–Catherine–on Easter Sunday. Now she would be treated as a slave. Because she would not work on Sunday, Kateri received no food that day. Her life in grace grew rapidly. She told a missionary that she often meditated on the great dignity of being baptized. She was powerfully moved by God's love for human beings and saw the dignity of each of her people. She was always in danger, for her conversion and holy life created great opposition. On the advice of a priest, Kateri Tekakwitha stole away one night and began a 200-mile walking journey to a Christian Indian village at Sault St. Louis, near Montreal. For three years she grew in holiness under the direction of a priest and an older Iroquois woman, giving herself totally to God in long hours of prayer, in charity, and in strenuous penance. At 23, Kateri took a vow of virginity, an unprecedented act for an Indian woman whose future depended on being married. She found a place in the woods where she could pray an hour a day—and was accused of meeting a man there! Her dedication to virginity was instinctive: Kateri Tekakwitha did not know about religious life for women until she visited Montreal. Inspired by this, she and two friends wanted to start a community, but the local priest dissuaded her. She humbly accepted an “ordinary” life. She practiced extremely severe fasting as penance for the conversion of her nation. Kateri Tekakwitha died the afternoon before Holy Thursday. Witnesses said that her emaciated face changed color and became like that of a healthy child. The lines of suffering, even the pockmarks, disappeared and the touch of a smile came upon her lips. She was beatified in 1980 and canonized in 2012. Reflection We like to think that our proposed holiness is thwarted by our situation. If only we could have more solitude, less opposition, better health. Kateri Tekakwitha repeats the example of the saints: Holiness thrives on the cross, anywhere. Yet she did have what Christians—all people—need: the support of a community. She had a good mother, helpful priests, Christian friends. These were present in what we call primitive conditions, and blossomed in the age-old Christian triad of prayer, fasting and almsgiving: union with God in Jesus and the Spirit, self-discipline and often suffering, and charity for her brothers and sisters.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Learn about the New Mexico landowner facing felony charges in a river access dispute, plus learn what really works to beat the heat. Protect yourself and others during extreme summer temperatures. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! New Mexico Landowner Arrested After Alleged Armed Threats Against Fishermen A New Mexico landowner has been arrested and charged with five felony counts of aggravated assault after authorities say he repeatedly threatened anglers who were legally fishing and wading in the Pecos River. According to the New Mexico Department of Justice, Erik Briones allegedly confronted multiple fishermen over several years while carrying firearms, despite court rulings affirming the public's right to access and wade in many of the state's rivers. Witnesses reported that Briones made threats suggesting he could shoot across the river and warned anglers they would be responsible if they were hit. One widely cited incident, captured on video in 2023, allegedly shows Briones holding a shotgun and telling a fishing guide, "I'm gonna start target practicing," while the guide stood in the river. The arrest comes amid a broader legal battle over public access to New Mexico waterways. Courts, including the New Mexico Supreme Court and later federal courts, have repeatedly upheld the public's right to wade and fish in streams that cross private property, provided people do not trespass on private land to gain access. Authorities also accuse Briones of ignoring court orders by installing barbed wire fences, using heavy equipment to alter the river channel, and creating hazards that could endanger anglers. State officials say these actions were intended to discourage public use of the river. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said the case is about enforcing both public access laws and criminal laws against threats of violence. The arrest marks the latest chapter in New Mexico's ongoing debate over private property rights and public access to rivers, with state officials emphasizing that disagreements over access laws do not justify intimidation or armed confrontations. According to KOB4 News, the New Mexico attorney general had filed a motion to keep Briones in jail until trial. A hearing on that motion was canceled, and Briones is now being released. Court records show Briones must wear an ankle monitor after release. The records also say he cannot return to his residence on the Pecos River before his trial.

The best ways to beat the heat include drinking plenty of water, limiting strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, wearing lightweight, light-colored clothing, and seeking shade or air conditioning whenever possible. Do and Don't In The Heat Don't take cold showers. This can constrict blood vessels and make one hotter after drying off from the cold shower. Don't sleep in the nude. Wearing pajamas offer an extra layer of wicking away the sweat at night from the sheets. Do drink electrolytes. These aid in staying hydrated along with drinking plenty of water. Do take a handkerchief, wet with cool water and wrap around the neck. This works well when working in the heat. Do offer fresh water daily to pets, preferably in a shaded area away from flies. Do use fans to cool off homes to shops to barns and pens. Tip: Set a bowl of ice in front of the fan so that cool air is blown. Not everything people try is effective, however. Waiting until you're thirsty to drink water can lead to dehydration, and using fans alone during extreme heat may not provide enough cooling when temperatures become dangerously high. Alcohol and excessive caffeine can also contribute to dehydration. Whether you're working outdoors, farming, fishing, or enjoying recreation, recognizing the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke can help prevent serious illness.

On March 27, 1993, the morning began like countless others for nine-year-old Jonathan Sellers and thirteen-year-old Charlie Keever. The two boys set off on their bicycles, planning nothing more extraordinary than a day of roaming, pedaling through familiar places, killing time, enjoying the small freedoms of childhood. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, the boys were seen moving easily through the neighborhood. Witnesses recalled spotting them at a local arcade and a pet adoption center, lingering the way kids do when the day feels wide open. Later, they stopped at a Rally's hamburger stand, where they bought lunch before heading off again on their bikes. Their last confirmed sightings placed them in the Otay River Valley, an area the boys were known to frequent. Two witnesses briefly spoke with Jonathan and Charlie as they rode along the riverbed near a washed-out bridge. One of those witnesses would later recall a detail that stood out at the time and lingered afterward: a man driving a car across the open field, deliberately blocking the bike path. It struck her as strange, out of place in the quiet riverbed. Years later, she would identify a photograph of a blue sedan, similar in color and shape to the vehicle she had seen that day. As evening approached and the boys failed to return home, worry turned quickly into alarm. Family members began searching nearby streets and paths. Jonathan's brother mentioned the riverbed trail where the boys often rode, prompting their mother to head there in a growing panic. What he didn't think to mention, what no one realized in time, was a hidden “fort” tucked away in the brush, a place the boys liked to crawl into “like a little cave.” Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast named “Hidden Fort: Jonathan Sellers and Charlie Keever.” Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHS Editing and music by @theinkypawprint Sources: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20040829/news_1m29erskine.html https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/people-v-erskine-34617 https://www.reddit.com/r/serialkillers/comments/1hbddzh/scott_erskine_a_repeat_offender_responsible_for/ https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/scott-erskine-charlie-keever-jonathan-sellers-death-row-appeal-south-bay-murders/159324/ https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/scott-erskine-dies-while-on-death-row-due-to-covid-19/509-3e957e89-6775-45a2-9f5f-d08c02e0844c https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2004-08-28-0408280095-story.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130409222853/http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/cgi/prosoma.dll?searchby=offender&id=18601082E9187 https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2004-08-28-0408280095-story.html https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/07/29/coronavirus-these-killers-died-on-san-quentins-death-row https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/2-condemned-san-quentin-inmates-die-of-apparent-covid-19-complications/ Who the (BLEEP) Did I Marry?

Step into the shadowed woods of early 20th-century Italy with My Dark Path as we uncover two extraordinary close encounters that echo the mysteries of the alleged 1933 Magenta RS/33 UFO crash and recovery.Host MF Thomas guides you through the humid Ferretto woods near Terontola, where battle-hardened veteran Astore Chiucini stumbles upon a glowing green circular craft and two hooded figures performing calm, deliberate repairs—before the silent machine rises with an earth-shaking roar and vanishes into the night. Then travel to the damp woodlands outside Abbiate Guazzone in Lombardy, where factory worker Bruno Facchini witnesses a metallic disc with bluish lights and small suited beings. When discovered, one fires a crackling fan of white-blue light that paralyzes and burns him—leaving physical scars, strange lightweight metal fragments, and a lifelong silence broken only years later.These two ordinary Italian men—years apart—described nearly identical scenes: landed circular craft, hooded or helmeted figures in tight suits working on repairs, silent departures defying known aviation, and physical evidence that lingered. Set against the backdrop of secret post-war aircraft testing near SIAI-Marchetti facilities in Vergiate and the rumored RS/33 program, these cases blur the line between coincidence and hidden context. Were they experimental human tech, or something truly not of this world?This episode blends immersive narration, historical context, skeptical analysis, and the enduring power of eyewitness testimony from men who offered to swear oaths or kept fragments hidden under their beds. Perfect for fans of classic UFO close encounters, Italian ufology, physical trace cases, and the unexplained.
